THE printers Il the Fort Worth GAZETTE Of
fcc contributed $50 for the drouth sufferers.
AS a rule printers have the anne of being the
hardest crew going. We dent know of any
other set of laborers in Cne house IN the state
of Texas that donated as much money as this to
any cause where It was considered charity.
Printers are not such "hard SET" after all.
i Blanco Star indicator.
The printers in THE GAZETTE office
gave of their substance cheerfully, but
they do not ask all the credit that belongs
in part tc others of their fellow workmen.
The subscription of THE GAZETTE en-
ployes to the drouth sufferers was made
up of donations from each and every de-
partment, not from one alone.

FROM ANY SOURCE

THE GAZETTE will receive and &C
knowledge donations from any source for
the drouth sufferers. If funds are not
being raised in other towns where there
are parties who desire to help these peo-
pie buy seed, TIE GAZETTE will be
pleased to add such contributions to its
list. THE GAZETTE is informed that oats
may be sown as late as March Is, and as
rapidly as funds accumulate from these
donations to buy seed the purchase will
be made. Without aid to procure seed
for planting these people will be as help
less in the future as they are now. IL Is
cause that appeals to the generosity OF
all who are able to assist, and The GA
ZETTE will take pleasure in acknowledge
ing all donations.

MANY journals have exercised them
selves over the fact that at late diplo-
matte dinner Mrs. Cleveland was escorted
by the Hsytien minister. THE GAZETTE
has pointed out that although Mr.. Lang
ston represents negro republic he is of
pure Caucasian blood, and was entitled to
the honor from the precedence granted to
seniority of service. Mrs. Cleveland thus
maintains her position by conformity to a
time-honored custom, and violates no
sense of propriety in social equality. 1t
is well for chrome fsult-fnders to adjust
their glasses to the proper focus, or at
least bear in mind the advice of an
old de5ater, "In argument be sure Of

1t has been shown that the Legislature
can make six "compact and contiguous"
Republican districts in Philadelphia, with
majoritles ranging from 5000 to 1000
votes. These majorities ought to lie
large enough to protect the most urpopu-
lar Republican candidates for Congress
from danger Of defeat. But q Repuhli
can Legislature has gerrymanGered Phil

poses to do it again. This Republican

the expense of the Democrats of Penn

the Democrats of the interior of the state
are gerrvmandered out of a representa-

eigners are perhaps as competent as na
tive born Americans would be, filing the
same places. But the principle involved
is q sound one. Certainly it would seem
there should be no difficulty in finding
enough competent American citizens,
either native born or fully naturalized, to
ill every place at the disposal of the gov
eminent without drawing on the ranks OF
the Immigrants who SEEK our shores. tits
rightand expedient to receive the foreigner
who comes here with good Intentions with
hospitality and kindness; it is good policy
to encourage his aspirations as regards the
acquisition of citizenship. But it is not
sound public policy or justice toward
native born citizens to award the prefer
ence to unnaturaliZed foreigners. The
latter should realize that while every
honor this country can bestow lex
cept the presidency is open to them,
there is & period of probation they
must undergo before they can hope to
enter upon the enjoyment OF places in the
public service, at least. The knowledge
of such requirement will serve as q
stimulus to the alien VINO comes IN good
faith, aspiring to useful and honorable
citizenship. And it will also cultivate
distinctive American spirit, not intolerant
or unreasonable - nothing savoring of

spirit that will do its part in promoting
policies calculated to advance the inter

whether alien or native born.

BOTH Russia and Germany may be full
of peaceable intentions, but neither hest
tates to prepare for war. Death-dealing
explosives are attracting much attention
in these countries, and the inventor of the
deadliest compound will make for himself
a fortune and name. Melinite, pamela
site, bellite and roburite, the first three
being the invention of NJ. Turpin,
French chemist, and the fourth of Dr..
Root of Germany, are the forms OF ex-
plosives attracting most attention, al
commencing themselves by safety in

power as deadly agents is from thirty-fve

FOREIGNERS AS OFFICE HOLDERS
The ghost of the Knownothing .party is
not stalking abroad but it can hardly
fell to escape the attention Of observant
people that there is well-deined cur
rent Of popular sentiment tending to a
judicious restriction of the privileges en-
joyed by foreigners in this country. This
sentiment msnifests itself in the pro-
ceedings of State Legislatures ard Con-
gress as we'll. There was q measure
proposed in Congress that contemplated
very decided step in X gard to Tor
eigners. Il provided that hereafter 10
person shgll be appointed to hold office
or place in the service Of the United
States who>is not a ci:izer OF the United
States, either by having fully completed
his naturs lization and taken cut his final
papers by due form and process flaw, or
who is not citizen of the United States
by nativity. This measure was the result
of the discovery that a very respectable
percentage of the employees in the various
bureaus of government service at Wash
ington are persons of foreign birth who
have not lived in the United States long
enough to become citizens under the
naturalization laws. 1t is said that
similar state affairs exists in the
large cities of the country, where such
persons have found places in the post
offices, custom houses, etc. Various in
fiuences have obtained places for these
men, for, as is well known, the foreign
element is q power in American politics.

Forney Register.

According to THE GAZETTE, the people
of Fort Worth are much more liberal in
their donations to the drouth sufferers
than the people of Dslias, the subscrip-
tions of the first named city being $3.50 10
and the latter S2l2 90 after deductiDg
foreign subscriptions to the Dallas fund,
THE GAZETTE has done a good work for
the suffering people, and for that matter
so has the News, but THE GAZETTE has
the advantage that it is being backed by
its citizens. Right here we may say that

great extent dependent on he support of

ACCORDING to the Philadelphia Record,
"Mr Randall is pious observer of the
Democratic platform-when the platform
serves his purpose. The national Demo-
cratic platform on which Cleveland was
elected expressly declares that the inter-
nal revenue taxes should be retained for
payment of the war debt. OF this war
debt there still remains balance of about
$4,000, OOO,O0 but Mr.. Randall wants to
repeal the wsr taxes. This part of the
platform does not suit him."

Prohibitionists and Dens.
Cleburne Chronicle,

The Waco Advance refers to some
places of infamy in that city, and says:
"The women who run the dens are in.
weighing boys who are just entering man
hood into their clutches, and destroying
them by wholesale. Mean whisky and
beer form vehicles for the ruin of these
boys, as they do all other classes Of
crime, and the vile men and women who
are engaged in running the dives are very
photographs of hell" High license would
wipe out these devils workshops, but
radical Prohibitionists prefer free whisky
and such dives ana Gems for Turing boys
to hell, rather than high license. They
prefer sending the boys to hades rather
than have them saved in any other way
than the one they mark out.

Certainly General Grant has had euiogy

come when his acts can be viewed dis
passionately is open to question. To dis
arm all criticism of the writer as polite
ally opposed, he assures the reader that he
supported Lincoln and was Union man.
the opening chapter deals with military
art, and the writer sustains his views by
examples drawn from the pages of his
toric war movements, and the success at
tending certain great leaders of ancient
and modern times. Regarding General
Grant as simply military leader, he
deals only with the battles of the civil

The March number continues "My Pill
grim Fathers" by Henry Willard Austen
As contribution to history it is valuable
in giving another aspect 20 much that has
been held so sacred as to derominate
those who differed rank heretics, and
enough of the animus CT the fathers re-
mains in their descendants to at least
verbally condemn all dissenters. Much
palliatiOn of offense is found in the times
in which the Puritans lived, but as it was
also the days of the cavaliers the same
excuse might avail in their favor. Ger
tain it is that through Charles II. re-
ligious liberation was demanded of the
Colonists, although their subsequent treat
ment of Quaker, Baptist and indian will
completely exonerate them from the
charge of loyalty.
General Basil W. Duke in "Supersti-
tious Belief in Legislation" ably shows the
folly of the hope that special law is cure
for existing evils; and cleverly argues up
to the inter-s state commerce bill, OF which
the advocates expect SO much, and from
which so little is to be hoped. AS he
treats this extensively with copious ex-
tracts from the bill itself, this number
will prove valuable as reference, when
the practical working of this new meas
ure shall be seen. "The Trial of the
Merrimac," by Dinwiddie B. Phillips,
and "lhe Trial of Vallandigham," are
"reminiscences Of trying periods within
the memory of many readers. Ascurious

pers Oh "John Symmes, the Theorist."
